Fun fact: unlike most voice work where you’re recording on your own, Jeremy and Eden actually recorded Nothing Left to Lose in the booth together so that they could play off each other
I literally clicked on this video only hoping that she did Ready as I'll ever be, because that is basically the best song in this show. We really need a part two! Only for Ready as I'll ever be.
Wow! I'm the animation Director of Tangled the series and I got to say it's so nice to hear this kind of reaction. The show never found it's audience. So much talented artists worked on this show.
Hello ! You and your team did an absolutely fantastic job !! The work and passion they poured into this project is truly amazing and inspired me to learn as much as I can about the animation business and all the the time and work that goes into it (maybe I’ll pursue it some day if I can work my way up there!) just once again, thank you so much. This show means so much to me
Mr. Larocque, my young daughters discovered Tangled the Series on Disney+ in November; since then, the episodes have been on heavy rotation in our house. We were so disappointed to discover that there wouldn't be a continuing story (spin-off) for Cass' journey ahead. My girls listen to the soundtracks almost daily, but my older child (a Kindergartner) continues to find new things to admire about the animation each time she watches an episode; the subtle changes in the characters' expressions, the backgrounds, the details. Thank you for infusing so much love into each scene, but particularly for bringing such vulnerability to the female leads Raps and Cass. It's a show I wholeheartedly enjoy watching with my girls.
@@christianlarocque1533 do u think they will ever make more seasons cuz I was just reading all the comments and there's so many adults who are sad too 💔😭😖
"Plot wise, I'm lost. Musically, I'm having a great time." I completely agree, I haven't watched the actual show, only the music. So I have absolutely no clue what's going on half the time, but it's always awesome.
Kids shows are just Like That now. It’s like suddenly someone realised kids value good quality tv shows with nuanced characters and complex themes, plus a bangin soundtrack.
Sometimes. This series hit all the marks. I loved the way that the characters were fleshed out and I am glad that they delved into mature themes. The soundtrack is phenomenal and I love the animation style. It felt like a natural progression after the first film. By contrast, "The Lion Guard" series really didn't do it for me for a number of reasons.
"This is a Kid's Show?" Well, yes, but actually no. First season : Rapunzel trys to have a normal life, but the plot says No. Second season : Where did the magic come from? Third season : We gotta clean up the mess, that we created.
PLEASE do a part 2 with Crossing the Line, Ready as I’ll Ever Be AND Waiting in the Wings (eden’s solo!!) not to be that person but thanks for all the likes :))
I feel like if Hannah would listen to “Waiting in the Wings” “Crossing the Line” “Ready as I’ll ever Be” or also “Let me make you Proud(Reprise)” she would freak out😂
The fact that Cassandra is anticipating a big battle between Rapunzel and herself during Nothing Left To Lose and only says she has nothing left to lose AFTER getting Varian to a safer position away from the battlefield is just... So perfect, honestly. Shows that Cassandra isn't a cartoon-y villain, she's just a person being manipulated
@@simplymudblood4370 ikr 🥺 I love Cass so much, she deserves the world. I can’t get over how much I love tangled the series, I can’t explain my love for this kids show- the plot, the voice actors and singers. Singers. Oh boy. My mom is probably annoyed with how much I talk about my love for these singers. She said “well yeah, they gotta have good singers or people won’t wanna watch it” BUT LIKE- NO- YOU DONT UNDERSTAND- YES THAT IS TRUE BUT ITS SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST GOOD SINGERS- EVERYONE HAS SUCH AN INCREDIBLE VOICE AND THEY FIT TOGETHER SO WELL- EVERYTHING ABOUT IT IS PERFECT 😭😭😭
"This was so good, it can't be meant for children." Quality isn't restricted to age, that's just the writers flexing their creativity and not dumbing things down for kids, because they trust them to understand situations better than the previous generation did. That said, I'm enjoying watching you critique their singing work, it's incredibly informative :)
Nothing Left to Lose is basically the endgame song of the show. Varian has his own villain song from an earlier season and he gets a redemption arc, which is why he is singing to Cass. It's basically Cassandra's No Good Deed. In very brief summary, Rapunzel's magic came from the healing power of the sun drop. There was also a moonstone that had destructive power and Rapunzel has to find it and destroy it. Cassandra was Rapunzel's handmaiden and best friend, as well as Mother Gothels biological daughter. Cass got angry because Gothel kidnapped Rapunzel and abandoned Cass, so Cass stole the moondrop to "take back" the destiny that Rapunzel stole from her. It all culminates in an ancient evil entity stealing both of the powers and destroying the kingdom. Edit: I appreciate that folks understand the nuance of the characters, but in a "very brief summary", concision without spoilers is the priority over nuance. Let folks watch the show and make their own decisions about characters and their actions. 💜
Cass got ""angry"" because Rapunzel and co treated her like shit during the whole journey and basicaly told her to suck it up cause Rapunzel is going to be Queen -__-' The Gothel thing was the last straw and gave Cass a full mental breakdown which was exploited to the fullest by the demon Zhan Tiri.
@@HeraldofMisfortune yeah I specifically think that Cass broke in the episode where SPOILER ALERT Raps stole the spotlight in a battle competition and ended up having to fight against Cass and WON because of a stupid law. Everything went downhill from there with Raps having constant pressure over herself and acting as she's this god-sent saviour for everyone and didn't needed Cass to be with her, also the rest of the characters aren't that supportive of Cass either so it makes total sense at the end of season 2 when Cass decides that enough is enough. I loved her arc and the series in general. But the Mother Gothel thing, that's personal for her, like Raps had nothing to do with it, she didn't asked to be born with magical powers in her hair and being kidnapped 18 years by a sociopath witch. Just saying.
@@Isarai1705 Had things gone differently in season one and the writers didn't feel the need to throw Varian under the bus for the sake of the plot and he was allowed to go on the journey in season 2, I think Varian would have been the one character that would have been in Cassandra's corner when she was feeling unheard. I think he would have struck a good balance between being there for both Rapunzel and Cassandra without making the other feel like he was taking sides. There was so much potential for him in season 2.
I’m about to make things worse!!! Plot wise, let me make you proud is Varian singing to his dad, who is imprisoned in unbreakable amber. So varian is singing about how he’s going to save his dad and make him proud to make up for not being able to save him before!
@@jojbenedoot7459 You're actually kind of right. There were a few episodes he wasn't in between the Let Me Make You Proud episode and the climax of season 1 (he only played a big part in the last two). But (at least to me) it felt like more, because even if he wasn' t actually physically in the episodes, we could kind of feel his presence anyway. He was a great villain in that capacity, even though I much prefer it when he's on the good side. He's a charming character.
For the Tangled: the series - the series part 2 - waiting in the wings, crossing the line, ready as I’ll ever be, next stop anywhere part 3 - set yourself free, life after happily ever after, with you by my side part 4 - If i could take that moment back, the view from up here, hurt incantation, I've got this part 5 - waiting in the wings(reprise), let me make you proud(reprise), through it all Part 6 - everything I ever thought I knew, you're bigger than that, listen up Love you, Hannah!❤
SPOILER WARNING!!! Also, she does not want to kill Rapunzel. This ancient demon warlock named Zhan Tiri got into Cassandra's mind and made her think that Rapunzel was taking everything she had ever wanted. Cass's biological mother is actually Mother Gothel, and she was especially upset that her mom chose Raps over her. She kind of just turned on Rapunzel in a jealous rage. She tried to take over her kingdom, and almost did until Cassandra realized that Zhan Tiri twisted her mind and made her think Raps was trying to overtake her, and she became good again and helped Rps fight zhan Tiri off. In the end, she actually dies, but Raps revives her. Cass leaves the kingdom to go follow her own destiny. Okay, I hope that helped!
For context: the premise of the show is that there is a counterpart to the sundrop that gave Rapunzel her hair. The counterpart is the moonstone. In the first song, Rapunzel’s hair is short because she hasn’t discovered the moonstone’s rocks that it creates. The rocks (and the moonstone in general) are seeking Rapunzel out because she is the sundrop. When she touches a rock, it causes her hair to return only this time she absorbed some of the moonstone’s protective power and so it can’t be cut. Basically the show’s premise her trying to learn the secrets of the sundrop and the moonstone and how it ties into her overall destiny
She doesn't want to kill Rapunzel, infact she's terrified of hurting her but the REAL bad guy "Zhan Tiri" manipulated Cass into thinking Rapunzel is in her way of Cassandra's Destiny so she wants to take it from Rapunzel
Just because Cass was manipulated, doesn't mean she is not responsible for her actions. All Zhan Tiri did was lie to Cass, she didnt brainwash her or mind control her, Zhan tiri would just say something and Cass would believe/ do it. Fans need to stop making excuses for Cass, yeah I like her, but I wouldn't make ridiculous reasons to blame other people for someone's mistakes. Cass screwed up, but thats not all Zhan Tiri's fault.
@@FatimaMohammed-ns6bd As is Rapunzel. Fans are adamant to pick a side in this, but they are both wrong. That's kinda the point of the entire show. Zhan Tiri 100% manipulated Cassandra by targeting her where she was vulnerable. If it happened to you, you'd know just how easy it is to fall into that trap, especially if you receive visual evidence, like Zhan Tiri did. And whenever Cassandra's resolve would falther, Zhan Tiri went and manipulated even more visual evidence. Seeing is believing. I sincerely doubt you'd have done "the right thing" if you had been in her shoes. No, you'd have been angry and hurt. So, thanks to that, Cassandra strayed from herself and was overcome by her hurt and anger resulting into bad actions which she couldn't forgive herself for, even when Rapunzel did. And Rapunzel is JUST as bad. She's floating in this bubble of naiveté and joy that makes her extremely selfish. Other people absolutely need to be happy or she'll make them happy-- contrary to what kid shows may make you believe, that's not a good trait to have. It lacks empathy and sympathy. Sometimes you need to allow people to be hurt, and Rapunzel didn't allow Cassandra to be hurt or angry at all. Never once did she stop to actually listen to what was going on. All she did was trying to tell Cassandra to wait and listen to her cause she was right and Cassandra was wrong. All the characters are inherently flawed. That's the point.
@@delivermypain I agree, Rapunzel was the reason Varian became a villain. Varian came to ask Rapunzel for help 4 times (I think) to save his father, the only family he had left, and Rapunzel did nothing to help until season 3. Rapunzel was an awful friend to Varian, I would understand why Cassandra would become a villain, kinda. Although I wish Cass could be more honest with Rapunzel, and tell her about her flaws.
@@FatimaMohammed-ns6bdI don't think there's a single person in the world that has an easy time admitting to their flaws or figuring them out in the first place. We're taught to focus on our strengths after all. Even those with a low self-esteem will mention flaws that aren't actually flaws or are flaws they do not truly possess. People on a job interview are often asked if there's something they're bad at, to test how your self-evaluation is. Most people will sort of mention a mediocre flaw they might have and then immediately put a good trait forward. Just like it's difficult to open up about flaws, it's not easy for everyone to admit they're hurting. Hurting in many cultures nowadays is somehow considered synonymous with weakness and, as I said (I sound like a broken record), weaknesses/flaws are hard to admit to. So yeah, I agree, it'd be nice if Cass opened up more, but I think it's good that they didn't let her do that because it isn't a realistic part of her character development. In this manner, the characters are more human in my opinion. :)
So glad this wound up in my recommended. Tangled the Series is incredibleeeeee, but you’ve spoiled the show for yourself so much if you ever watch it 😅
I mean, it’s good. I really can’t blame you 😩 I’m obsessed with it, when I was binge watching it I’d literally watch it during any free time I had in school and when I got home and before I went to bed, I want more to watch so badly, rewatching it is nice, but the first time is always the best 😭🤚 My name is your name backwards btw 😂
All three seasons are on Disney+! They just changed the name for the second and third seasons... look up “Rapunzel Tangled Adventure” and you’ll find the other two :)
Omg PLEASE do a deep dive!!! I’d love to see your reactions to the whole show. If you decide to watch, make sure you watch the pilot first- it’s separate from the rest of the series and it’s called Rapunzel’s Before Ever After. After that, there is a 3 season long show called Tangled the Series. Since you asked, here is the premise: Rapunzel, while secretly adventuring outside the castle, encounters some mysterious black rocks. When she touches them all her hair grows back. The first song you listened to takes place right before she finds the rocks, which is why her hair is still short there. The context for Nothing Left to Lose is that in season 3, Cassandra betrays Rapunzel and eventually kidnaps Varian because A) he had information she needed and B) as bait to get rapunzel to show up. Let Me Make You Proud takes place way back in season 1 when Varian is traveling to the castle to get help from Rapunzel after something happens to his dad. I hope this explanation helps!! I tried to leave out whatever spoilers weren’t covered in those three songs so that way if you decide to watch the whole show, you don’t already know every single little detail about the plot.
The show kinda has 2 names, Tangled the Series, and Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure. Tangled the Series was the shows original title, but when season 2 came along it was changed to Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure for some reason, but a lot of people still call it Tangled the Series
I love how varian is summing up everything wrong he did in season 1, talking about how he lost his faith, his mind, and soul. He lost complete control after that. You could honestly say he temporarily went insane.
The first song you listened to takes place after the movie, before she got her hair back. Later after that song, she found the magical black rocks and they made her hair grow back indestructible. Later in the show Rapunzle meets Varian and he tries to help her find a way to cut her hair and then later she turns her back on him to save the kingdom but he needed her help to save his father. In “let me make you proud”, Varian is singing about how he’ll make his dad proud by saving him and he becomes a villain for a while. Later him and Rapunzle make up and Cassandra finds out that her own mother chose Rapunzle over her when she was little girl. This reveal in the show is a big turning point as it is Cassandra’s last straw because she’s always felt like she lived in Rapunzle’s shadow. Cassandra becomes a villain using the moon stone which gives her the powers to control the black rocks while she’s also being manipulated and lied to by a demon who she thinks is trying to help her take down Rapunzle. They make up in the end though. (We also find out that Eugene is the lost prince of the Dark Kingdom)
Okay, okay, that’s WAY too much spoilers! I finished the show and all, but you just ruined it for others. Please consider putting a spoiler warning next time some people want to watch the series too y’know
If you have not seen Tangled the series I say in all caps "WATCH IT PLEASE JUST WATCH IT!" This deserves a part two because there are so many good songs in this show
Agreed. Imo, having the context behind the songs, knowing the events and character development leading up to each of them, makes the songs have so much more meaning and impact. Loving the music from it is great and a good start for finding interest in the series, but I think it has to be watched in its entirety to fully appreciate them.
in "let me make you proud" varian's father became trapped in ember, and varian was going to go tell rapunzel at that castle to save his father and finally recieve his father's praise and love
Also, the guy who voices Lance (Eugene’s childhood best friend and partner in crime) is voiced by the original Genie on Broadway’s Aladdin! He’s really good!
Zachary Levi who plays Eugene has a great solo number called "Everything I Ever Thought I Knew" and it's so good. Also "Waiting In The Wings" is amazing
If you thought Eden Espinosa was fantastic in “Nothing left to lose”, then your jaw is gonna be gone when you hear her in the songs, “Crossing the Line” and her solo “Waiting in the Wings”.
@@tissabff9364 IKR, I was completely surprised at how much Disney let them go all out with the music and later seasons. I originally thought it was going to be like the 90s Aladdin or 2000s Timon and Pumbaa tv shows, and while good, I just grew out of those shows. But THIS, this ways a pleasant surprise!!
@@1normallyimpulsive I'm so happy that they got some amazing singers to voice the characters, I dont think the music would be anywhere near the same without them.
@@tissabff9364 oh absolutely! I love how everyone in the show had a strong voice that allowed them to sing the songs like Broadway and not “talk sing”, it would have totally took away the punch the songs had (kind of like how early 2000s Kesha used to sing-I still love her tho LOL)
I know we are all here for the music but as an animation nerd: AHHH The eye movements and subtle facial expression changes and timings and just the absolute cinematography of Nothing Left to Lose! It’s all so amazing!!!
ikr! I love the animation ❤️ The cinematography just hurts so good and the movements were so smooth! Not to mention, the fight scene between Raps and Cass was so breathtaking!! I hope I'd be able to do something like that one day!
You should also react to “Set Yourself Free”, “Ready As I’ll Ever Be”, “Waiting In The Wings”, and “I’d Give Anything” from Tangled The Series. They are some of the best songs.
I love Jeremey Jordan too. His character Varian is the whole reason I started watching the show in the first place. I binged the 1st season during the pause between the end of season 1 and the beginning of season 2, then watched it episode by episode from there. It's great that u enjoyed these songs, and there are plenty more. But the crowning song of this series, however, is 'Ready As I'll Ever Be' (season 1 final). It's sung by Jeremy, Eden, and a bunch of other characters. Since u don't know anything about the plot, u should at least understand that Varian actually used to be a villain, that's why in 'Nothing Left To Lose' he's talking to her like he knows exactly what she must be going through. And the song 'Ready As I'll Ever Be' takes place during that period when he was the villain. Also; I know Cass looks cool with her powers, suit, and sword, and Eden is an amazing singer. But her character Cass...in my personal option...is not my favorite. Varian is my favorite💖💖💖 Let's just say that when Varian turned dark side, it was actually for a very understandable reason (I sympathized with him and was actually rooting for him. Loved him as the good guy and the bad guy). Cass on the other hand, even when she was good, she was pretty nasty, and then she turned dark side for a pretty ridiculous reason. If you're that curious and really enjoy the music, I'd encourage u to watch the show all the why through. Maybe even react to the rest of the episodes (there aren't songs in every episode but there are quite a few). And the 1st episode u watched 'What the Hair?!' is technically not the beginning. To officially begin the series, u must first watch the tv movie 'Tangled: Before Ever After.' That shows how Rapunzel got her hair back, about the black rocks, etc. Don't feel bad, I did the same thing.
In "I'll Make You Proud" Varian is singing to his father who is currently in the process of dying because of one of Varian's experiments gone wrong. He's running to the castle with the hope that Rapunzel's magic can help.
I remember when I heard "I'm Ready as I'll Ever Be" for the first time and I was convinced it had to be from a Broadway production, I looked it up and when I saw it was from tangled the series and I was shocked. Like it's so incredible and there are so many talented people and voices. Ahhhhh you need to listen to it next time.
PLEASE DO A DEEP DIVE this show is SO GOOD and the music is TOP TIER BROADWAY WORTHY SONGS! It really showcases the talent of the voice actors and the story is great. It takes place after the movie but before the short Tangled Ever After. It starts with the Disney Channel movie Tangled: Before Ever After and then there’s three seasons of the series the last season ending last year (sadly) The show is great overall. The animation, songs, story, Jeremy Jordan, everything.
So the first song you did was from the special "Tangled: Before Ever After," which is making a reference to the fact that this is before the Disney short where Rapunzel and Eugene get married. The special and the first season are all about Rapunzel wanting freedom outside of her kingdom, to not be the cooped up, sheltered child she's been all of her life. She gets her magical hair back after that first song you listened to. She and Cass go back to where the Sundrop flower once was, which now has black pointy rocks in its place. Rapunzel touches the rocks, reawakening the magic in her body and making her hair grow back. That's how the first season begins. The third song you listened to is from the special half way through season one called "Tangled: Queen For a Day," where Rapunzel's parents decide to take a vacation and leave her in charge of the kingdom while they're away. Meanwhile, trouble goes down at home, making Varian rush to Rapunzel for aide only to be turned away due to bigger issues, which starts his villain arc. Season two, Rapunzel travels outside the walls of Corona to explore the world with her friends in search for her destiny. It's season three where the second song you listened to comes in. Varian is over his villain arc at that point and the gang had come back to Corona to clean up the mess he made while they were away. Of course, by the beginning of season three, Cass had begun her villain arc but I'd hate to ruin how or why because it's a shock to anyone who watches it. (Even me who, honestly, wouldn't have been surprised if the why had been addressed earlier.) There's so much more to the series that's both heartfelt and heartbreaking but I think you should watch it. It may be a show for children, but it's so entertaining and I love it so much. It'll be worth it to watch it from the beginning yourself. Trust me.
This is a great plot summary. Honestly credit to you for taking the time!!! The simple idea of having to explain it to someone freaks me out...there is simply so much happening in this show.
From what I remember of season three, Cass is angry at Raps for taking her place as Mother Gothel’s daughter. She is lashing out, but I don’t think she actually wants to murder her. They were best friends before this plotline was revealed.
I never did understand Cass's reasoning on that. She knew Rapunzel had been kidnapped for 18 years.. While Cass was raised by a dad that loved her... if anything I would get it if she betrayed rapunzel for the injured arm and not trusting Rapunzel to control her powers with the moon stone.. but being the jealous older sister didn't make sense to me.
@@BiowareKaiserGirl it’s more of her blaming Rapunzel for always overshadowing her. Everyone looks to Rapunzel first. I think realizing her own mother did exactly this was just what broke her. She longs for glory as well, as seen in Waiting in the Wings.
A lot of Disney shows are really more for all ages than just kids. Without too many spoilers, Rapunzel is the embodiment of the Sun Drop, which is what gave the flower it's power before it was transferred to her. There's an opposite power called the Moonstone, and it's what draws the Sun Drop power back out of Rapunzel and gives her back her hair. There's also an ancient evil that is first introduced in the same episode that Make You Proud is from, which becomes an over arching force that they have to deal with in the later seasons. Jeremy Jordan's character, Varien, is a young alchemist who's experiments tend to go a bit arry, as he's still learning his craft. He's been looking into the black rocks that have been popping up in the village, which are tied to the Moonstone, and accidentally traps his father in amber as a result. Eden Espinosa's character was adopted by the captain of the guards, and I can't really say too much about why she turns evil cause it's a pretty big spoiler to her story, but she's basically upset because she finds out her life would be very different if it weren't for Rapunzel. There's a heck of a lot more to it than that, but I really can't say much without giving some major spoilers.
Definitely need a part 2. I literally went and watched the entire show for the first time because of this video and I do not regret it. Rapunzel is officially my favorite Disney princess now and Cass is amazing! Cass is Rapunzels lady in waiting and best friend, and while she did betray rapunzel, her betrayal literally saved Rapunzels life. 10/10 would recommend the show.
She has to do a part 2, maybe with crossing the line, the girl who has everything, set yourself free, if I could take that moment back, and everything I ever thought I knew
YOU'RE TELLING ME SHE DID A RAPUNZEL VIDEO AND DIDN'T LISTEN TO READY AS I'LL EVER BE OMG you would crush so hard if you reacted to it just sayin its a jeremy jordan song :))
“I didn’t expect to see a supervillain in this show” - I promise you, if you watch it, the buildup is SO perfect and rewarding. The shock factor is fantastic (obviously lost on you now, but would still be cool to watch the buildup.) - It just makes a LOT of sense in context.
Oh think about all the amazing songs and Jeremy Jordan content/vocals we could have gotten if we got Varian and the Seven Kingdoms **sobs** and not to mention all the other characters with music as a storytelling tool
Part 2 with "ready as ill ever be", "waiting in the wings", and "crossing the line" in that order will definitely give some background to cas and varian
I have a three year old, so we started watching this with her. It's actually a SOLID show, great writing, AMAZING performances by an incredible cast and really beautifully done. Disney did well here.
1. So to understand how she got her hair back you need to watch ‘Rapunzel happily ever after’ on Disney+ it shows what has happened so far since she left the tower and it introduces Cass. 2. The basic plot of ‘Rapunzels adventure the series’ is that she got her long hair back but it no longer has the healing power just that it’s incredibly strong. These rocks formed when she touched them and they have been following her and leading her to her destiny of taking another magical object called the moonstone. Cass is her maid who looks after her but most importantly is her best friend. She really wants to be on the royal guard which is why she has a sword and such. Varian is a kid alchemist who always makes a mess with his potions and makes his dad upset with him. Through their journeys manny things happen which I won’t tell cause that would be spoiling it. 🙂
This video has been in my recommended for a while now and I always avoided it for fear of negativity towards one of my favorite comfort shows. But this reaction was so positive and informative! And I really enjoyed the comment that the songs are Broadway quality 💜 I’d love to see a part 2
Cassandra is actually Mother Gothel’s daughter and she abandoned her to raise Rapunzel. Cassandra was then raised by the head castle guard and then became Rapunzel’s handmaiden when she returned. So Cassandra is mad at Rapunzel and “taking what’s hers” since she’s always felt 2nd rate to Rapunzel. But she’s also being manipulated by another villain, so she can steal Rapunzel’s sun drop power.
YASSS PLEASE DO A DEEP DIVE!!! ALSO DONT FORGET THE SEQUAL MOVIE BEFORE THE 3 SEASONS! I loved this so much and have been wanting to see you react to it for MONTHS!!!! I’m so glad you love it as much as i do!
I also love Jeremy Jordan oh my goodness. The first time I heard his voice was actually in this show and I was like "OH MY GOSH" And I have been obsessed with him ever since
OMG yes, totally. Those were the best songs of this show. Also spoiler alert for below: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . No, but if I remember correctly Cass does die in the final battle.
Alan Menken and Glenn Slater's work in RTA is so underrated! It earned Menken his E in EGOT for crying out!! Also, it's no wonder Jeremy's range really shines here. Menken knows how to play to his strengths and bring it out of others like Mandy, Eden, Zachary, and James.
We stan a good Jeremy Jordon/Eden Espinosa duet! Two of my top favorite Broadway performers! YESSSS! Also, from your reactions to just the scenes themselves, you totally need to watch the show! It's so good! And I'd say it's an everyone show. Kids watch and enjoy it, but so do adults. It has amazing plots and I never expected how dark it got at times.
Hi, you should really react to “Black Friday” some time soon! It’s kinda like the follow up musical to “The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals” and it’s so good I’m sure you’d really enjoy it!
Wind in my hair is from the first episode while nothing left to lose was one of the songs in the Series Finale. Basically the premise is that these magical rocks that Rapunzel touches allows her hair to grow back. She ends up going on a journey to find the mystery on the magical rocks although the journey doesn’t start right away. Throughout her time she makes friends with characters such as Varian. The rest is a bit of spoilers. In Let Me Make You Proud, Varian accidentally freezes his own father alive with a weird wax material and needs the power of the Sundrop (flower) to free his dad. It ends up where he makes a plan to kill Rapunzel and instead ending up in jail. Cassandra has always been by Rapunzel’s side during her time in the castle as she is meant to teach Rapunzel on how to be a proper princess. But Cassandra is a lot tougher and wants to become a knight. She ends up joining Rapunzel on her adventures but starts to feel that Rapunzel gets more praise than her and becomes a bit envious. There is a bigger drift when she does grab the moonstone and gaining the powers of the rocks. She later spirals down a path of getting manipulated by a sorceress of some sort (I don’t remember) who lives ethereally in the stone and fuels Cass’s envy by showing that her own mother, Gothel, left her for Rapunzel. Which is why Cass believes she wants to kill Rapunzel due to being the cause of her mother leaving her.
(SPOILER WARNING) For some context behind the song Nothing Left To Lose, Cass ends up becoming the villain in season 3 after some miscommunication with Rapunzel. Varian tries to convince her to change her mind since he was a reformed villain in season 1, who also turned corrupted after miscommunication. I’d suggest listening to Jeremy Jordan’s villain song in the show, Ready As Ill ever Be (one of the most popular songs in the show!)
Fun fact: unlike most voice work where you’re recording on your own, Jeremy and Eden actually recorded Nothing Left to Lose in the booth together so that they could play off each other
Yeah! I saw a video of them recording it and it was really cool! Looked like they were having fun 💚
Ooo! Cool! New facts for me :) also @Emm Bay I will find that video because that sounds amazing!
I believe it-
I was ur 1000 like 😂
that is a fun fact, thanks for sharing it
The sadness I feel at the fact that “Ready as I’ll ever be” was not included is immense. Great vid still but Part 2 needs it.
such broadway vibes with that song my goodness
I know ready as I’ll ever be is amaaazing
Also waiting in the wings is absolutely beautiful

Wow! I'm the animation Director of Tangled the series and I got to say it's so nice to hear this kind of reaction. The show never found it's audience. So much talented artists worked on this show.
Hello ! You and your team did an absolutely fantastic job !! The work and passion they poured into this project is truly amazing and inspired me to learn as much as I can about the animation business and all the the time and work that goes into it (maybe I’ll pursue it some day if I can work my way up there!) just once again, thank you so much. This show means so much to me
Mr. Larocque, my young daughters discovered Tangled the Series on Disney+ in November; since then, the episodes have been on heavy rotation in our house. We were so disappointed to discover that there wouldn't be a continuing story (spin-off) for Cass' journey ahead. My girls listen to the soundtracks almost daily, but my older child (a Kindergartner) continues to find new things to admire about the animation each time she watches an episode; the subtle changes in the characters' expressions, the backgrounds, the details. Thank you for infusing so much love into each scene, but particularly for bringing such vulnerability to the female leads Raps and Cass. It's a show I wholeheartedly enjoy watching with my girls.

Kids shows are just Like That now. It’s like suddenly someone realised kids value good quality tv shows with nuanced characters and complex themes, plus a bangin soundtrack.
More like they realized adults and teenagers love cartoons just as much as the kids and want to watch quality content
@@leahtheanimationfan40 yea
Sometimes. This series hit all the marks. I loved the way that the characters were fleshed out and I am glad that they delved into mature themes. The soundtrack is phenomenal and I love the animation style. It felt like a natural progression after the first film. By contrast, "The Lion Guard" series really didn't do it for me for a number of reasons.

The fact that Cassandra is anticipating a big battle between Rapunzel and herself during Nothing Left To Lose and only says she has nothing left to lose AFTER getting Varian to a safer position away from the battlefield is just... So perfect, honestly. Shows that Cassandra isn't a cartoon-y villain, she's just a person being manipulated

"This was so good, it can't be meant for children."
Quality isn't restricted to age, that's just the writers flexing their creativity and not dumbing things down for kids, because they trust them to understand situations better than the previous generation did.
That said, I'm enjoying watching you critique their singing work, it's incredibly informative :)
I love shows that does that but they would need the budget for that.
Nothing Left to Lose is basically the endgame song of the show. Varian has his own villain song from an earlier season and he gets a redemption arc, which is why he is singing to Cass. It's basically Cassandra's No Good Deed.
In very brief summary, Rapunzel's magic came from the healing power of the sun drop. There was also a moonstone that had destructive power and Rapunzel has to find it and destroy it. Cassandra was Rapunzel's handmaiden and best friend, as well as Mother Gothels biological daughter. Cass got angry because Gothel kidnapped Rapunzel and abandoned Cass, so Cass stole the moondrop to "take back" the destiny that Rapunzel stole from her. It all culminates in an ancient evil entity stealing both of the powers and destroying the kingdom.
Edit: I appreciate that folks understand the nuance of the characters, but in a "very brief summary", concision without spoilers is the priority over nuance. Let folks watch the show and make their own decisions about characters and their actions. 💜
trying to destroy, but ends up getting panned in the back of the head
Cass got ""angry"" because Rapunzel and co treated her like shit during the whole journey and basicaly told her to suck it up cause Rapunzel is going to be Queen -__-'
The Gothel thing was the last straw and gave Cass a full mental breakdown which was exploited to the fullest by the demon Zhan Tiri.
@@HeraldofMisfortune thank you for saying what actually happened because people forget that Cass has been getting screwed over since season 1
@@HeraldofMisfortune yeah I specifically think that Cass broke in the episode where SPOILER ALERT Raps stole the spotlight in a battle competition and ended up having to fight against Cass and WON because of a stupid law. Everything went downhill from there with Raps having constant pressure over herself and acting as she's this god-sent saviour for everyone and didn't needed Cass to be with her, also the rest of the characters aren't that supportive of Cass either so it makes total sense at the end of season 2 when Cass decides that enough is enough. I loved her arc and the series in general.
But the Mother Gothel thing, that's personal for her, like Raps had nothing to do with it, she didn't asked to be born with magical powers in her hair and being kidnapped 18 years by a sociopath witch. Just saying.
@@Isarai1705 Had things gone differently in season one and the writers didn't feel the need to throw Varian under the bus for the sake of the plot and he was allowed to go on the journey in season 2, I think Varian would have been the one character that would have been in Cassandra's corner when she was feeling unheard. I think he would have struck a good balance between being there for both Rapunzel and Cassandra without making the other feel like he was taking sides. There was so much potential for him in season 2.
I’m about to make things worse!!! Plot wise, let me make you proud is Varian singing to his dad, who is imprisoned in unbreakable amber. So varian is singing about how he’s going to save his dad and make him proud to make up for not being able to save him before!
(spoilers) worst part is when you learn that repunzel is too busy to help him AND THAT HE GATS A VILLAIN ARK RIGHT AFTER, WITH A KILLER SONG!
@@waddlesthepig6457 calling it an arc is kinda generous, it's really 2 episodes lol. They did him dirty there
@@jojbenedoot7459 You're actually kind of right. There were a few episodes he wasn't in between the Let Me Make You Proud episode and the climax of season 1 (he only played a big part in the last two). But (at least to me) it felt like more, because even if he wasn' t actually physically in the episodes, we could kind of feel his presence anyway. He was a great villain in that capacity, even though I much prefer it when he's on the good side. He's a charming character.

SPOILER WARNING!!!
Also, she does not want to kill Rapunzel. This ancient demon warlock named Zhan Tiri got into Cassandra's mind and made her think that Rapunzel was taking everything she had ever wanted. Cass's biological mother is actually Mother Gothel, and she was especially upset that her mom chose Raps over her. She kind of just turned on Rapunzel in a jealous rage. She tried to take over her kingdom, and almost did until Cassandra realized that Zhan Tiri twisted her mind and made her think Raps was trying to overtake her, and she became good again and helped Rps fight zhan Tiri off. In the end, she actually dies, but Raps revives her. Cass leaves the kingdom to go follow her own destiny. Okay, I hope that helped!
Yes it definitely does 👏 thanks!
Wait I didn’t need so many spoilers
Spoiler alert
@@Toasty_Mr.Marsh_ it ended over a year ago
@@amanday3103 it ended a year ago...
For context: the premise of the show is that there is a counterpart to the sundrop that gave Rapunzel her hair. The counterpart is the moonstone. In the first song, Rapunzel’s hair is short because she hasn’t discovered the moonstone’s rocks that it creates. The rocks (and the moonstone in general) are seeking Rapunzel out because she is the sundrop. When she touches a rock, it causes her hair to return only this time she absorbed some of the moonstone’s protective power and so it can’t be cut. Basically the show’s premise her trying to learn the secrets of the sundrop and the moonstone and how it ties into her overall destiny

Nothing Left To Lose is probably the best part of season 3, the way they play off each other is brilliant and it's such an intense couple minutes
She doesn't want to kill Rapunzel, infact she's terrified of hurting her but the REAL bad guy "Zhan Tiri" manipulated Cass into thinking Rapunzel is in her way of Cassandra's Destiny so she wants to take it from Rapunzel
Just because Cass was manipulated, doesn't mean she is not responsible for her actions.
All Zhan Tiri did was lie to Cass, she didnt brainwash her or mind control her, Zhan tiri would just say something and Cass would believe/ do it. Fans need to stop making excuses for Cass, yeah I like her, but I wouldn't make ridiculous reasons to blame other people for someone's mistakes. Cass screwed up, but thats not all Zhan Tiri's fault.
@@FatimaMohammed-ns6bd As is Rapunzel. Fans are adamant to pick a side in this, but they are both wrong. That's kinda the point of the entire show.
Zhan Tiri 100% manipulated Cassandra by targeting her where she was vulnerable. If it happened to you, you'd know just how easy it is to fall into that trap, especially if you receive visual evidence, like Zhan Tiri did. And whenever Cassandra's resolve would falther, Zhan Tiri went and manipulated even more visual evidence. Seeing is believing. I sincerely doubt you'd have done "the right thing" if you had been in her shoes. No, you'd have been angry and hurt. So, thanks to that, Cassandra strayed from herself and was overcome by her hurt and anger resulting into bad actions which she couldn't forgive herself for, even when Rapunzel did.
And Rapunzel is JUST as bad. She's floating in this bubble of naiveté and joy that makes her extremely selfish. Other people absolutely need to be happy or she'll make them happy-- contrary to what kid shows may make you believe, that's not a good trait to have. It lacks empathy and sympathy. Sometimes you need to allow people to be hurt, and Rapunzel didn't allow Cassandra to be hurt or angry at all. Never once did she stop to actually listen to what was going on. All she did was trying to tell Cassandra to wait and listen to her cause she was right and Cassandra was wrong.
All the characters are inherently flawed. That's the point.
@@delivermypain I agree, Rapunzel was the reason Varian became a villain. Varian came to ask Rapunzel for help 4 times (I think) to save his father, the only family he had left, and Rapunzel did nothing to help until season 3. Rapunzel was an awful friend to Varian, I would understand why Cassandra would become a villain, kinda. Although I wish Cass could be more honest with Rapunzel, and tell her about her flaws.
@@FatimaMohammed-ns6bdI don't think there's a single person in the world that has an easy time admitting to their flaws or figuring them out in the first place. We're taught to focus on our strengths after all. Even those with a low self-esteem will mention flaws that aren't actually flaws or are flaws they do not truly possess.
People on a job interview are often asked if there's something they're bad at, to test how your self-evaluation is. Most people will sort of mention a mediocre flaw they might have and then immediately put a good trait forward.
Just like it's difficult to open up about flaws, it's not easy for everyone to admit they're hurting. Hurting in many cultures nowadays is somehow considered synonymous with weakness and, as I said (I sound like a broken record), weaknesses/flaws are hard to admit to.
So yeah, I agree, it'd be nice if Cass opened up more, but I think it's good that they didn't let her do that because it isn't a realistic part of her character development. In this manner, the characters are more human in my opinion. :)
@@delivermypain agreed, again. Thank you so much for this

@@meredithroberts644 maybe they're just not in the UK cuz they're really not there :(
Omg PLEASE do a deep dive!!! I’d love to see your reactions to the whole show. If you decide to watch, make sure you watch the pilot first- it’s separate from the rest of the series and it’s called Rapunzel’s Before Ever After. After that, there is a 3 season long show called Tangled the Series. Since you asked, here is the premise: Rapunzel, while secretly adventuring outside the castle, encounters some mysterious black rocks. When she touches them all her hair grows back. The first song you listened to takes place right before she finds the rocks, which is why her hair is still short there. The context for Nothing Left to Lose is that in season 3, Cassandra betrays Rapunzel and eventually kidnaps Varian because A) he had information she needed and B) as bait to get rapunzel to show up. Let Me Make You Proud takes place way back in season 1 when Varian is traveling to the castle to get help from Rapunzel after something happens to his dad. I hope this explanation helps!! I tried to leave out whatever spoilers weren’t covered in those three songs so that way if you decide to watch the whole show, you don’t already know every single little detail about the plot.
I’d love to see a deep dive aswell! The show is amazing and I love seeing reactions
the pilot is sctuslly named Tangled Before Ever After
@@anothernerdontheinternet ah thank you for correcting me!! I’ve fixed it now :D
The show kinda has 2 names, Tangled the Series, and Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure. Tangled the Series was the shows original title, but when season 2 came along it was changed to Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure for some reason, but a lot of people still call it Tangled the Series
Absolutely please
I love how varian is summing up everything wrong he did in season 1, talking about how he lost his faith, his mind, and soul. He lost complete control after that. You could honestly say he temporarily went insane.
I WATCHED THIS ENTIRE SHOW JUST CUZ I HEARD JEREMY JORDAN SINGS IN IT LOL
I didn't even know he was in it but I knew I really like Varian for a reason
SAME
SAME
Anything with Jeramy Jordan in it I'm in
I watched it SOLELY because of Ready as I’ll ever be.
The first song you listened to takes place after the movie, before she got her hair back. Later after that song, she found the magical black rocks and they made her hair grow back indestructible. Later in the show Rapunzle meets Varian and he tries to help her find a way to cut her hair and then later she turns her back on him to save the kingdom but he needed her help to save his father. In “let me make you proud”, Varian is singing about how he’ll make his dad proud by saving him and he becomes a villain for a while. Later him and Rapunzle make up and Cassandra finds out that her own mother chose Rapunzle over her when she was little girl. This reveal in the show is a big turning point as it is Cassandra’s last straw because she’s always felt like she lived in Rapunzle’s shadow. Cassandra becomes a villain using the moon stone which gives her the powers to control the black rocks while she’s also being manipulated and lied to by a demon who she thinks is trying to help her take down Rapunzle. They make up in the end though. (We also find out that Eugene is the lost prince of the Dark Kingdom)
Please put a spoiler aleet... Bevuz many ppl havent watched the show yet.. Also she wants to watch the show
Why did you have to do such a big spoiler?! Sorry, spoilers! More than one >:( say the songs you want her to react, no more :(

Thank you for this explanation lmao I needed it
If you have not seen Tangled the series I say in all caps "WATCH IT PLEASE JUST WATCH IT!"
This deserves a part two because there are so many good songs in this show
Yes this show is a masterpiece!!!!
Agreed. Imo, having the context behind the songs, knowing the events and character development leading up to each of them, makes the songs have so much more meaning and impact.
Loving the music from it is great and a good start for finding interest in the series, but I think it has to be watched in its entirety to fully appreciate them.
in "let me make you proud" varian's father became trapped in ember, and varian was going to go tell rapunzel at that castle to save his father and finally recieve his father's praise and love
Also, the guy who voices Lance (Eugene’s childhood best friend and partner in crime) is voiced by the original Genie on Broadway’s Aladdin! He’s really good!

Your icon is Hayley Marshall!!!! Right?
I love Jeremey Jordan too. His character Varian is the whole reason I started watching the show in the first place. I binged the 1st season during the pause between the end of season 1 and the beginning of season 2, then watched it episode by episode from there.
It's great that u enjoyed these songs, and there are plenty more.
But the crowning song of this series, however, is 'Ready As I'll Ever Be' (season 1 final). It's sung by Jeremy, Eden, and a bunch of other characters. Since u don't know anything about the plot, u should at least understand that Varian actually used to be a villain, that's why in 'Nothing Left To Lose' he's talking to her like he knows exactly what she must be going through. And the song 'Ready As I'll Ever Be' takes place during that period when he was the villain.
Also; I know Cass looks cool with her powers, suit, and sword, and Eden is an amazing singer. But her character Cass...in my personal option...is not my favorite. Varian is my favorite💖💖💖
Let's just say that when Varian turned dark side, it was actually for a very understandable reason (I sympathized with him and was actually rooting for him. Loved him as the good guy and the bad guy). Cass on the other hand, even when she was good, she was pretty nasty, and then she turned dark side for a pretty ridiculous reason.
If you're that curious and really enjoy the music, I'd encourage u to watch the show all the why through. Maybe even react to the rest of the episodes (there aren't songs in every episode but there are quite a few).
And the 1st episode u watched 'What the Hair?!' is technically not the beginning. To officially begin the series, u must first watch the tv movie 'Tangled: Before Ever After.' That shows how Rapunzel got her hair back, about the black rocks, etc. Don't feel bad, I did the same thing.
OH MY GOD, SHE'S REACTING TO TANGLED'S SONGS !! HOLY SHIT !!
In "I'll Make You Proud" Varian is singing to his father who is currently in the process of dying because of one of Varian's experiments gone wrong. He's running to the castle with the hope that Rapunzel's magic can help.
I remember when I heard "I'm Ready as I'll Ever Be" for the first time and I was convinced it had to be from a Broadway production, I looked it up and when I saw it was from tangled the series and I was shocked. Like it's so incredible and there are so many talented people and voices. Ahhhhh you need to listen to it next time.

her "oh no Jeremy" is me with Sebastian Stan as Bucky.
IM IN LOVE WITH THIS SHOW OH MY GOSH
I NEED her to listen to ready as I'll ever be... ASAP!!!!
"Ready as I'll ever be", "waiting in the wings" and "crossing the line", please! You will love them!
The best 3
So the first song you did was from the special "Tangled: Before Ever After," which is making a reference to the fact that this is before the Disney short where Rapunzel and Eugene get married. The special and the first season are all about Rapunzel wanting freedom outside of her kingdom, to not be the cooped up, sheltered child she's been all of her life. She gets her magical hair back after that first song you listened to. She and Cass go back to where the Sundrop flower once was, which now has black pointy rocks in its place. Rapunzel touches the rocks, reawakening the magic in her body and making her hair grow back. That's how the first season begins. The third song you listened to is from the special half way through season one called "Tangled: Queen For a Day," where Rapunzel's parents decide to take a vacation and leave her in charge of the kingdom while they're away. Meanwhile, trouble goes down at home, making Varian rush to Rapunzel for aide only to be turned away due to bigger issues, which starts his villain arc. Season two, Rapunzel travels outside the walls of Corona to explore the world with her friends in search for her destiny. It's season three where the second song you listened to comes in. Varian is over his villain arc at that point and the gang had come back to Corona to clean up the mess he made while they were away. Of course, by the beginning of season three, Cass had begun her villain arc but I'd hate to ruin how or why because it's a shock to anyone who watches it. (Even me who, honestly, wouldn't have been surprised if the why had been addressed earlier.) There's so much more to the series that's both heartfelt and heartbreaking but I think you should watch it. It may be a show for children, but it's so entertaining and I love it so much. It'll be worth it to watch it from the beginning yourself. Trust me.
Omg so spot on
This is a great plot summary. Honestly credit to you for taking the time!!! The simple idea of having to explain it to someone freaks me out...there is simply so much happening in this show.
From what I remember of season three, Cass is angry at Raps for taking her place as Mother Gothel’s daughter. She is lashing out, but I don’t think she actually wants to murder her. They were best friends before this plotline was revealed.
She was also possessed by Zan Turi or however you spell it :)
@@kaylibossard5397 Later she was but it was mostly Zhan Tiri just influencing her
I never did understand Cass's reasoning on that. She knew Rapunzel had been kidnapped for 18 years..
While Cass was raised by a dad that loved her... if anything I would get it if she betrayed rapunzel for the injured arm and not trusting Rapunzel to control her powers with the moon stone.. but being the jealous older sister didn't make sense to me.
@@BiowareKaiserGirl it’s more of her blaming Rapunzel for always overshadowing her. Everyone looks to Rapunzel first. I think realizing her own mother did exactly this was just what broke her. She longs for glory as well, as seen in Waiting in the Wings.
@@kaylibossard5397 Oh I completely forgot that, thanks. It’s been a hot minute since I last watched the series.
PLEASE HAVE A PART 2, ALL THE MUSIC IN THERE IS SO SOOOOO GOOD
A lot of Disney shows are really more for all ages than just kids. Without too many spoilers, Rapunzel is the embodiment of the Sun Drop, which is what gave the flower it's power before it was transferred to her. There's an opposite power called the Moonstone, and it's what draws the Sun Drop power back out of Rapunzel and gives her back her hair. There's also an ancient evil that is first introduced in the same episode that Make You Proud is from, which becomes an over arching force that they have to deal with in the later seasons.
Jeremy Jordan's character, Varien, is a young alchemist who's experiments tend to go a bit arry, as he's still learning his craft. He's been looking into the black rocks that have been popping up in the village, which are tied to the Moonstone, and accidentally traps his father in amber as a result.
Eden Espinosa's character was adopted by the captain of the guards, and I can't really say too much about why she turns evil cause it's a pretty big spoiler to her story, but she's basically upset because she finds out her life would be very different if it weren't for Rapunzel. There's a heck of a lot more to it than that, but I really can't say much without giving some major spoilers.
The way I’m a 19 year old that watched this whole show, I don’t even care if it’s a “kids show” it’s good 😂😂
Glad to know I’m not the only almost adult watching this show and obsessed with it characters. I swear I get more into “kid shows” than adult shows 😂
@@Cookiecat1212 That's just because some them are better, I love "The Owl House".
@@Cookiecat1212 I’m 17 and most of the things I watch are animated and intended for kids but I honestly don’t give a frick lol
Haha I’m the same way!! I’m almost 19 and yet I’m way more into “kids’ shows” than other shows lol😂😂
I just turned 34 and watched the series over the last few weeks. And now I'm sad it's over and there's not gonna be a spin off.
Definitely need a part 2. I literally went and watched the entire show for the first time because of this video and I do not regret it. Rapunzel is officially my favorite Disney princess now and Cass is amazing!
Cass is Rapunzels lady in waiting and best friend, and while she did betray rapunzel, her betrayal literally saved Rapunzels life. 10/10 would recommend the show.
She has to do a part 2, maybe with crossing the line, the girl who has everything, set yourself free, if I could take that moment back, and everything I ever thought I knew
YESS
YOU'RE TELLING ME SHE DID A RAPUNZEL VIDEO AND DIDN'T LISTEN TO READY AS I'LL EVER BE OMG
you would crush so hard if you reacted to it just sayin its a jeremy jordan song :))
Yes for sure! A absolute masterpiece!!! This whole series is so good!
"Is this a kids show?" It is, surprisingly. For as dark and depressing it can be, it is in fact a kids show.
“I didn’t expect to see a supervillain in this show” - I promise you, if you watch it, the buildup is SO perfect and rewarding. The shock factor is fantastic (obviously lost on you now, but would still be cool to watch the buildup.) - It just makes a LOT of sense in context.
Let Me Make You Proud will make me cry no matter how much I listen to it
Pleeeaaaaasssseeeee do a part 2
Suggestions:
Waiting in the wings and the reprise too
Ready as I’ll ever be
Crossing the line
ah man the reprise makes me cry every time I hear it!
Oh think about all the amazing songs and Jeremy Jordan content/vocals we could have gotten if we got Varian and the Seven Kingdoms **sobs** and not to mention all the other characters with music as a storytelling tool
I seriously wish we could have gotten that. Maybe if it takes off on Disney plus?
I wanted to see this series !$
Part 2 with "ready as ill ever be", "waiting in the wings", and "crossing the line" in that order will definitely give some background to cas and varian
You should do “As Ready As I’ll Ever Be” if you haven’t already😌
I have a three year old, so we started watching this with her. It's actually a SOLID show, great writing, AMAZING performances by an incredible cast and really beautifully done. Disney did well here.
I started watching it with my then 3 yo yea I might have kept watching it cause of myself this and lion guard. I was invested man 😂😂
1. So to understand how she got her hair back you need to watch ‘Rapunzel happily ever after’ on Disney+ it shows what has happened so far since she left the tower and it introduces Cass.
2. The basic plot of ‘Rapunzels adventure the series’ is that she got her long hair back but it no longer has the healing power just that it’s incredibly strong. These rocks formed when she touched them and they have been following her and leading her to her destiny of taking another magical object called the moonstone. Cass is her maid who looks after her but most importantly is her best friend. She really wants to be on the royal guard which is why she has a sword and such. Varian is a kid alchemist who always makes a mess with his potions and makes his dad upset with him. Through their journeys manny things happen which I won’t tell cause that would be spoiling it. 🙂
I think you mean Tangled Before Ever After?
@@aislingmurphy1822 Yes, thank you for the correction.
@@pandawarrior1348 no problem!
This video has been in my recommended for a while now and I always avoided it for fear of negativity towards one of my favorite comfort shows. But this reaction was so positive and informative! And I really enjoyed the comment that the songs are Broadway quality 💜 I’d love to see a part 2
IVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS ONE- you have to do Waiting in the Wings next, Alan Menken won an emmy for that song, and Crossing the Line
Yes !
She did?? Well, she really deserved that!!!
It also earned Menken his EGOT
@@annebeach6630 I know!!! I was so excited, he truly deserves it!
Cassandra is actually Mother Gothel’s daughter and she abandoned her to raise Rapunzel. Cassandra was then raised by the head castle guard and then became Rapunzel’s handmaiden when she returned. So Cassandra is mad at Rapunzel and “taking what’s hers” since she’s always felt 2nd rate to Rapunzel. But she’s also being manipulated by another villain, so she can steal Rapunzel’s sun drop power.
Feels like you should mark this for spoilers, you're revealing quite a bit.
Woah, spoilers much? 😅
Can you put a spoiler warning please? Many people have not seen this show and may want to watch it in the future.
Mark it for spoilers
Hannah fangirling over Jeremy Is just SOOO CUTE AND THE HIGHLIGHT 😅😅❤️
YASSS PLEASE DO A DEEP DIVE!!! ALSO DONT FORGET THE SEQUAL MOVIE BEFORE THE 3 SEASONS! I loved this so much and have been wanting to see you react to it for MONTHS!!!! I’m so glad you love it as much as i do!
I GASPED I love this show so much!!
I also love Jeremy Jordan oh my goodness. The first time I heard his voice was actually in this show and I was like "OH MY GOSH" And I have been obsessed with him ever since
You have to go back and do Eden's other songs Waiting In the Wings and Crossing The Line! She KILLS them
P.S. she does not kill Rapunzel
OMG yes, totally. Those were the best songs of this show.

No, but if I remember correctly Cass does die in the final battle.
Alan Menken and Glenn Slater's work in RTA is so underrated! It earned Menken his E in EGOT for crying out!! Also, it's no wonder Jeremy's range really shines here. Menken knows how to play to his strengths and bring it out of others like Mandy, Eden, Zachary, and James.
We stan a good Jeremy Jordon/Eden Espinosa duet! Two of my top favorite Broadway performers! YESSSS! Also, from your reactions to just the scenes themselves, you totally need to watch the show! It's so good! And I'd say it's an everyone show. Kids watch and enjoy it, but so do adults. It has amazing plots and I never expected how dark it got at times.
Hi, you should really react to “Black Friday” some time soon! It’s kinda like the follow up musical to “The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals” and it’s so good I’m sure you’d really enjoy it!
Starkid!!!
She actually did make a reaction of one of the Starkid musicals! I forgot which she did but she already reacted to one of them
@@TeaKuliPot yeah I know, she reacted to tgwdlm, that’s why I said she should see Black Friday next
"Plot-wise? I'm lost. Musically? I'm having a great time" basically sums up my existence (and should be a meme. Do your thing internet)
You gotta do “Crossing the Line” and “Waiting in the Wings” next! Both are Cassandra songs and absolutely breathtaking!!
I just watched 1 season and that amazing, especially Varian and Cassandra
Wind in my hair is from the first episode while nothing left to lose was one of the songs in the Series Finale.
Basically the premise is that these magical rocks that Rapunzel touches allows her hair to grow back. She ends up going on a journey to find the mystery on the magical rocks although the journey doesn’t start right away. Throughout her time she makes friends with characters such as Varian.
The rest is a bit of spoilers. In Let Me Make You Proud, Varian accidentally freezes his own father alive with a weird wax material and needs the power of the Sundrop (flower) to free his dad. It ends up where he makes a plan to kill Rapunzel and instead ending up in jail.
Cassandra has always been by Rapunzel’s side during her time in the castle as she is meant to teach Rapunzel on how to be a proper princess. But Cassandra is a lot tougher and wants to become a knight. She ends up joining Rapunzel on her adventures but starts to feel that Rapunzel gets more praise than her and becomes a bit envious. There is a bigger drift when she does grab the moonstone and gaining the powers of the rocks.
She later spirals down a path of getting manipulated by a sorceress of some sort (I don’t remember) who lives ethereally in the stone and fuels Cass’s envy by showing that her own mother, Gothel, left her for Rapunzel. Which is why Cass believes she wants to kill Rapunzel due to being the cause of her mother leaving her.
I live for how she doesn't know who varian is so she just goes "no, jeremy! ☹️" When he gets locked in the cage LMAOOO
(SPOILER WARNING)
For some context behind the song Nothing Left To Lose, Cass ends up becoming the villain in season 3 after some miscommunication with Rapunzel. Varian tries to convince her to change her mind since he was a reformed villain in season 1, who also turned corrupted after miscommunication. I’d suggest listening to Jeremy Jordan’s villain song in the show, Ready As Ill ever Be (one of the most popular songs in the show!)
Me who hasn't seen the show but ships cassunzel and know all of its songs by memory: YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
SAME haha
YAASSS
They remind me so much of swanqueen. Regina is Cass and Emma is Rapunzel
You. I like you.
Sooo.. spoiler you don't want to do that. Lmao
Entirely underrated show It’s such a good show Like it’s definitely for kids but it’s a lot more The characters are especially cool
*im so happy people still talk about this show*
AHHH! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE! You should do a part two with Crossing The Line and Waiting in the Wings!
Don’t worry your not the only one how gets chills listening to “Nothing left to lose” it’s been my all time favorite song for 5 years already ❤️
Tangled fandom is recommending every amazing song in this show to the appreciation and confusion of all vocal coaches/musicians
I LOVE IT
“Every amazing song” so you mean every song
